Smoky Mountain High

The mountain behind us (40 miles) is on fire. So far is has only burned about 50 acres so it is not a large fire by any means. The only reason that I bring it up is that the cloud of smoke has turned the sunlight orange. Cool looking.

Beck and I have actually thought about staying in Vegas after I get out of the AF. This is a distant thought. Vegas kind of grows on you after awhile...you know...like a fungus or something. The job market is going to be the deciding factor.

I have been pondering learning to drive heavy construction equipment. The big graders, front end loaders, cranes, etc. They can make $35 +  an hour and I would be a union man. I think that job sort of sounds fun. Every guy thinks big cranes and shit are cool! I will check in to it and report back with my findings.

Okay, off to surf around the net.
